Customer Reviews

	We had an incredible experience and would absolutely stay again. The sisters are so friendly and helpful. The monastery is beautiful! The location is in the center of everything, so it's easy to walk everywhere. We were in several cities across Italy. This was our favorite stay!
Jeremy - La, United States (November 2024)

	They were kind enough to provide me with soup on the evening that I arrived because I had 'the shakes' from flu and wasn't up to going out to get food. The guest minister was English speaking, which was very helpful!
Bruce - , United Kingdom (October 2024)

	Our stay was wonderful! The monastery and the sisters there are the best of the best. Sister Sue was so accommodating, whether we needed help in making dinner reservations, getting directions, or attending Mass. We can't thank her enough for all her help. I look forward to booking at St. Anthony's again!
Amy - MD, United States (October 2024)

	A friend picked us up from the Assisi train station in his car (not taxi). I had a lovely stay at Saint Anthony's Guest House. The Sisters and other staff were always helpful, friendly, kind, and accommodating. My room was very clean and room service was provided, as well as daily morning breakfast. I loved the comfortable sitting room, well stocked library, and beautiful courtyard. The chapel was an added bonus for individual prayer and meditation. Fresh,excellent quality water was always available, and we could heat it for coffee, tea, etc. They also have bottled water and other drinks for purchase (at low costs). I enjoyed my stay and plan to return.

Greg - ID, United States (September 2024)

	We have stayed at several Monastery Stays accommodation during our Italian holidays. St. Anthony's is the finest. The warmth of Sr. Sue and Sr. Alessandra, the beautiful location, our comfortable room looking on to St. Clare's Basilica, the great breakfasts, cleanliness and wonderful value make it our all time best and most desired monastery stay. We would definitely return if we had another Italian holiday. outstanding. We can highly recommend Sr. Sue's wonderful St, Anthony's. Sr. Sue is the best host ever.
Douglas - QLD, Australia (September 2024)

	My daughter, two grandsons and I all simply enjoyed staying at Casa di Accoglienza Sant'Antonio (UMA119). The staff, the sisters, in particular Sr Sue were all kind, compassionate, warm and very helpful. They made us feel like we were familiar to the monastery and we cant say enough good things about our experience!!!
Beatrice - OH, United States (June 2024)

Stacie - OH, United States (October 2023)

	Our Visit to the Guest House was wonderful. We had difficulty finding the house because our GPS was confusing. We called the House and Sister Sue helped us with her great directions. Both her and Alessandra were so wonderful. They were helpful with all our questions. Loved the breakfast room and choices of food was good. Loved all the rooms that we were allowed to utilize. The grounds were gorgeous. Our view from our room was the cathedral and all lit up at night. We had a super early drive back to Rome and they were so kind as to leave us juice boxes and rolls. Our bathroom was a bit small but not a big deal. I loved my visit there and I would definitely stay there again when I return to Assisi. Great location. We met lots of really nice people there at breakfast.

	This place is incredible. The sisters are the kindest souls you will ever meet, and the views from the sitting room, private room balconies and the many garden green spaces over the valley are unforgettable. This is a place made for quiet spiritual contemplation, and it was an absolutely joyous experience to stay there.

	Wonderful hospitality & a great way to experience Assisi. Room was cold and did not have access to changing the heat. My only recommendation would be allowing heat to be adjusted. Thank you!
Anne - WA, United States (March 2022)

	We arrived after the normal check-in time due to circumstances beyond our control. We had had a frazzled journey but were able to relax once we arrived. Sister Sue had waited for our arrival and was enormously reassuring and helpful. Our stay was marked by the friendliness and helpfulness of all the sisters and staff and we were genuinely sorry to leave. A wonderful example of Christianity in action.
Suzanne - Cheshire, United Kingdom (September 2021)

	This was a high-point of our holiday - a magical place of peace and tranquillity. Comfortable, spacious room, lovely continental breakfast and wonderful people. The setting is beautiful and sometimes we just sat in the lovely gardens looking at the glorious view of Assisi around us.
Jane - , New Zealand (October 2019)

	I loved my stay at St. Anthony’s Guest House. The sisters were so welcoming and the chance to share breakfast with fellow travelers was very much appreciated. The gardens and the view were gorgeous, the room comfortable and clean, and the location was very convenient for walking around Assisi.
Stacey - MN, United States (September 2019)

	Everything was wonderful. The Sisters and staff were delightful and some English speaking. Showers ran hot and cold.
James - , United Kingdom (September 2019)

	This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. It's a short walk to the main square but has a wonderful garden and stunning views. The Nuns were kind and incredibly hospitable. Please go!
Hilary - Lancashire, United Kingdom (June 2019)

	The sisters are so kind and accommodating. I cried to leave them! The SA guest house was so beautiful that we spent most of one day right there! It is immaculate, spiritual, beautifully appointed and lovingly, thoughtfully cared for, just as they do their guests!
Crisanto - TX, United States (March 2019)

Patricia - IA, United States (September 2018)

	The Sisters of the Atonement have created a haven of peace and welcome for pilgrims and visitors to Assisi. If you are of faith, wish to meet others with diverse experience and similar value, this is the place for you! Sr. Suzanne Marie was heaven sent! Very clean, quiet, and up the hill to give a little workout after eating Assisi's fine cuisine. Breakfast was excellent with what one would expect, with the Sister's encouragement in sitting you with people on a similar path as you.
Dana - WI, United States (June 2018)

	This was an outstanding place to stay in Assisi! The location was wonderful, Sr. Sue and her fellow Atonement sisters have created a haven in this holy town. We were blessed to be able to attend daily Mass several times in English due to Msgr. Craig Harrison being in residence while we were there. So wonderful! The meals were simple and delicious. We met lovely people each morning at breakfast and were able to enjoy the gardens overlooking Assisi and especially Santa Chiara and San Rufino - views right outside our windows. Without hesitation we know we will be back. Don't miss this wondrous place!
Val - OR, United States (June 2018)

	This was our fourth stay at St. Anthony’s. The house is beautiful with lovely gardens and picture perfect surroundings. It’s a great location for visiting other sights in Assisi. The breakfast is sufficient, the rooms are basic with clean towels and bedding. The Sisters who run St. Anthony’s and the staff are very friendly and welcome you into their home. They have various binders with local information listing restaurant recommendation, train and bus schedules,and many other facts about the area. We will return to St. Anthony’s whenever we visit Assisi it’s a peaceful welcoming stay. Best of all,Sister Sue always welcomes you with a smile!
Adele - NY, United States (June 2018)

	Probably our nicest friendliest guest house this trip. People were wonderful. Facility and gardens were beautiful.
Sara - OK, United States (June 2018)

	A lovely warm calming welcome to a serene atmosphere. Absolutely perfect for us. As well as the location and the lovely garden and views etc. we also enjoyed the library very much.
Rosalind - , United Kingdom (April 2018)

	Great location just a few hundred yards/meters from the old city piazza. lots of great restaurants and shopping close by. 15 min walk to the Basilica San Francesco and 30 min walk to the Rocca Maggiore. We were awakened by church bells in the morning and had the best sleep ever in the stillness of the guesthouse. Secure parking is also a plus. Sister Sue and her fellow nuns are the most gracious ever. Highly recommended. Great value.
Brian - OH, United States (October 2017)

Eva - West Sussex, United Kingdom (May 2015)

	If you are seeking an experience of Assisi as a pilgrim and a spiritual experience this place is just the place. My room had a beautiful view of the Cathedral of St. Clare and the bells that rang were wonderful. This place is very clean, has wonderful, friendly service and a sweet little chapel. It enhanced my stay in Assisi by adding that element of the sacred. It was wonderful and the Sisters were welcoming, warm and helpful!
Carol - IL, United States (May 2015)

	We had a wonderful stay at St Anthony's Guest House. It's so serene and the Sisters were helpful and cheerful.

Anne - East Renfrewshire, United Kingdom (April 2015)

	I had a lovely stay at St. Anthony's Guest House. The sisters were very helpful--especially Sister Sue. The location, in a quiet and scenic part of town, was great. The views out the lounge windows at sunset were amazing! I appreciated being seated with other guests who were not part of a group for breakfast on my second day.
Mary - AE, United States (April 2015)

	If you want a lovely, peaceful time in Assisi (which is what you should be there for!) you will love this place. The Sisters were incredibly warm, friendly and hospitable. Heartedly recommend this place and will return.
Sarah - Victoria, Australia (October 2014)

	This was a great experience. The sisters spoke English and were a wealth of information. The breakfast was very nice. They obviously have it all figured out and provide a warm and welcoming stay. They were most accommodating and Sr. Sue is the best! Thanks.
Patricia - IL, United States (October 2014)

	St Anthony's was all I could have wished for and far more. I hope I have the opportunity to go to Assisi and stay at this beautiful retreat again.
Sandra - Tasmania, Australia (October 2014)

	The Sisters were all so welcoming. Assisi was the highlight of my trip ! On the day of my early departure, the Sisters left rolls, orange juice, cookies etc for me to take
Brian - CA, United States (October 2014)

	Fabulous stay, the Sisters were friendly and welcoming. Everything was clean and bright with amazing views. We stayed in a triple room with our daughter with plenty of room. Location is perfect, far enough away from the main square to avoid the noise but close enough to everything for an easy walk to St. Francis Basilica, St. Clares, restaurants and shopping. Highly recommend this property. Simple breakfast to start the day in a beautiful location!
Curt - NY, United States (October 2014)

	Sisters very gracious and helpful. Great breakfast.
Gregg - NC, United States (October 2014)

	The sisters were extremely hospitable and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The grounds are amazing. We enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend this place.
Becky - Ontario, Canada (July 2014)

	It was excellent. The nuns were always so welcoming and cheerful
Barbara - New Zealand, New Zealand (June 2014)

	I Loved this Place! I can not praise it enough. It is ran by the Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement. They have the most beautiful property in Assisi. Assisi sits on the side of the mountain. St. Anthony's House sits high in the city and from the Garden they have an overview of the whole town and the countryside below. St. Claire's Basilica is located less than a block down the hill and we woke to the sound of the church bells each morning. We arrived by train and used the directions from this website to find the House. They were perfect and we took the bus then walked directly to it. We had a triple room which was beautiful, clean, comfortable and had every convenience we needed. The Sister's were so friendly and helpful. Two of the Sisters spoke English which helped us greatly. The property includes the most beautiful garden. It has a small orchard along with many rose bushes and potted geraniums. The garden is dotted with wonderful sculptures of St. Francis, St. Anthony and the Virgin Mary. It is a unbelievably peaceful place in the middle of the hectic city. We sat in the garden watching the sunset over the city with a sandwich and a bottle of wine each night. The Sisters provided breakfast for us each morning. They also have a pantry where we could purchase cold drinks or microwave food bought at the local deli. They have a laundry room for hand-washing clothing and clothing lines in the lower garden for drying. If I ever have the opportunity to revisit Assisi, I will be staying at St. Anthony's Guest House. I highly recommend you staying here as well.
Vicki - OK, United States (June 2014)

	This was a perfect trip for me! St. Anthony's Guest House in Assisi, Italy provided me a wonderful experience. I do plan to return in the future. Thanks you.
Charles - IL, United States (May 2014)

	It was a very nice stay...I enjoyed breakfast.
Alma - TX, United States (April 2014)

	I wish that I had booked for a week at this place where hospitality has new meaning. Guests simply relax and share the Sisters' home. Garden, extensive library, beautiful chapel, close to everything, great breakfast, guests addressed by name from the beginning. Run with quiet efficiency and good humour.
Heather - , New Zealand (April 2014)

	We loved it we were made to feel very welcome, we loved the garden an being able to sit in on a lovely sunny day and take in Assisi. The Monastery is in a great location just away from the heavy traffic tourist areas but close to the bus down to the station.
Andrew - New South Wales, Australia (October 2013)

	Sister Sue made us feel at home and her warmth was very comforting to my whole family. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
Judy - , Singapore (June 2013)

	The guest house is the perfect place to relax and enjoy Assisi. The sisters were awesome in every way. The views are breath taking and the location to cafes, churches, etc. are just steps outside the front door.
Joyce - FL, United States (March 2013)

	This was the best place to stay in Assisi! The Sisters are very generous and made our stay very enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious, our room was nice and clean, and the location was perfect. I will definitely stay here again when we go back to Assisi!
Tyler - IA, United States (October 2012)

	I had a fantastic time at this guest house! Apart from the clean room and lovely breakfast, they had great parking for my car, a self help coffee/tea station, washing and ironing facilities and the location is perfect. Just slightly out of the hustle and bustle of the touristy area, but close and safe enough to walk anywhere. The quiteness of the library and the friendliness of Sister Sue is something that I will remember!!!
Melanie - Gauteng, South Africa (September 2012)

	We found the sisters warm and welcoming and the Guest House very comfortable. The location couldnt be bettered. And a very short walk takes you to a variety of restaurants which the sisters recommend.
Francis - New South Wales, Australia (May 2012)

	Most homely, welcoming of all our stays.
Elizabeth - South Australia, Australia (October 2011)

	Sr Sue, Sr Maria-Gabriella and Sr Alexandra were just the loveliest ladies. We look forward to seeing them again. Thank you for helping us have such a happy and Holy Easter.
